    What paint to use for door handles

    I've got a few chips on my door handles and am wondering what type of paint I should use to make it look purdy again. Anyone do this before?

    I used rustoleum satin black on my Daytona door frames, mirrors, door handles. They all turned out great.

    I used a DuPont product http://pc.dupont.com/dpc/en/US/html/...09_A-5099S.pdf
    to refresh mine.

    Biggest thing I can say about painting anything, especially door handles that get constant contact with oil and other contaminent, CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN and CLEAN some more before even thinking about painting them.

    Don't use rustoleum, they make trim-black paint and its a formula that wont interact with the car's current paint.

    I used omni single stage with a flatten agent to dull them up a lil. Look great, another thing along with having them really clean as posted, make sure they are scuffed up good, not sure on how sandblasting would work probably too agressive, but thats the biggest issues is getting everything roughed up so you wont have the paint peeling shortly after.
